Demineralized Bone

Demineralized bone matrix (DBM) is commonly used for the reconstruction of bone defects. Early graft consolidation involves a transient inflammatory process. It is, however, unclear whether DBM can modulate this process. To test this possibility, we prepared acid lysates of demineralized ground cortical (DGC) and moldable demineralized fibers (MDF). Murine RAW 264.7 and primary bone marrow macrophages were exposed to acid lysates of DGC and MFD prior to provoking an inflammatory response with lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Similarly, murine ST2 mesenchymal cells were exposed to DGC and MFD with and without interleukin 1β (IL1) and TNFα. We show here that acid lysates of DGC and MFD reduced the expression of IL1 and IL6 in RAW 264.7 macrophages, as determined by RT-PCR and, for IL6, by immunoassay. This response was confirmed with primary macrophages. Likewise, desalted acid lysates exert anti-inflammatory properties on RAW 264.7 cells and in ST2 cells, the forced expression of IL6, inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and chemokine ligand 5 (CCL5) was reduced. These in vitro findings suggest that DGC and MFD lower the inflammation-induced expression of inflammatory mediators in murine cell-based bioassays.

A new flavonol named 6-(2'',3''-epoxy-3''-methylbutyl)-resokaempferol (1), together with five known compounds (2-6) were isolated from the EtOAc-soluble extract of the aerial part of Saussurea involucrata. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic methods. All compounds were evaluated for their anti-inflammatory effects by measuring the production of nitric oxide (NO) and TNF-α in vitro. Among them, compound 1 showed potential inhibitory activity on the production of NO and TNF-α in LPS-induced RAW 264.7 cells with IC50 values of 48.0 ± 1.5 and 41.4 ± 1.7 µM, respectively.

ABSTRACTCylindrical porous polycaprolactone (PCL) scaffolds containing 25, 35, and 50 wt% demineralized bone matrix (DBM) were fabricated using a salt-leaching method for application in bone engineering. In the present work, PCL-DBM scaffolds were monitored for calcium and phosphorus deposition in both deionized (DI) water and simulated body fluid (SBF) for time periods of 5, 10, 15, and 20 days at 37°C under constant rotation. An in vitro assessment of the bioactivity of synthetic materials using SBF under physiological conditions can be used as a barometer of scaffold behavior in vivo. DBM, an osteoinductive material, was used to gauge if there was a correlation between the concentration of DBM within a scaffold and the apatite formation on its surface. Biochemical assays, alizarin red S staining, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with elemental analysis of calcium and phosphorus were consistent in that they confirmed that PCL scaffolds containing 35 wt% DBM in SBF at 14 days post-immersion showed signs of early apatite formation.

Nrf2 Activator

Abstract The transcription factor Nuclear factor erythroid-2-related factor 2 (NRF2) and its principal repressive regulator, the E3 ligase adaptor Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (KEAP1), are critical in the regulation of inflammation, as well as maintenance of homeostasis. Thus, NRF2 activation provides cytoprotection against numerous inflammatory disorders. N-nicotinoylquinoxaline-2-carbohdyrazide (NQC) was designed by combining the important pharmacophoric features of bioactive compounds reported in the literature. NQC was synthesised and characterised using spectroscopic techniques. The compound was tested for its anti-inflammatory effect using LPSEc induced inflammation in mouse macrophages (RAW 264.7 cells). The effect of NQC on inflammatory cytokines was measured using ELISA. The Nrf2 activity of the compound NQC was determined using ‘Keap1:Nrf2 Inhibitor Screening Assay Kit’. To obtain the insights on NQC’s activity on Nrf2, molecular docking studies were performed using Schrodinger suite. The metabolic stability of NQC was determined using mouse, rat and human microsomes. NQC was found to be non-toxic until the dose of 50 µM on RAW 264.7 cells. The NQC showed potent anti-inflammatory effect in an in vitro model of Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulated murine macrophages (RAW 264.7 cells) with an IC50 value 26.13 ± 1.17 µM. The NQC dose-dependently down regulated the pro-inflammatory cytokines (Interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α) and inflammatory mediator, prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) with IC50 values 13.27 ± 2.37, 10.13 ± 0.58, 14.41 ± 1.83 and 15.23 ± 0.91 µM respectively. Molecular docking studies confirmed the favourable binding of NQC at Kelch domain of Keap-1. It disrupts the Nrf2 interaction with kelch domain of keap 1 and its IC50 value was 4.21 ± 0.89 µM. The metabolic stability studies of NQC in human, rat and mouse liver microsomes revealed that it is quite stable with half-life values; 59.78 ± 6.73, 52.93 ± 7.81, 28.43 ± 8.13 minutes; microsomal intrinsic clearance values; 22.1 ± 4.31, 26.0 ± 5.17 and 47.13 ± 6.34 µL/min/mg protein; respectively. So, rat has comparable metabolic profile with human, thus, rat could be used for predicting the pharmacokinetics and metabolism of NQC in human. NQC is a new class of NRF2 activator with potent in vitro anti-inflammatory activity and good metabolic stability.

Reduced Toxicity

Biorenovation is a microbial enzyme-catalyzed structural modification of organic compounds with the potential benefits of reduced toxicity and improved biological properties relative to their precursor compounds. In this study, we synthesized a novel compound verified as formononetin 7-O-phosphate (FMP) from formononetin (FM) using microbial biotransformation. We further compared the anti-inflammatory properties of FMP to FM in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-treated RAW264.7 macrophage cells. We observed that cell viabilities and inhibitory effects on LPS-induced nitric oxide (NO) production were greater in FMP-treated RAW 264.7 cells than in their FM-treated counterparts. In addition, FMP treatment suppressed the production of proinflammatory cytokines such as prostaglandin-E2 (PGE2), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) in a dose-dependent manner and concomitantly decreased the mRNA expression of inducible NO synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2). We also found that FMP exerted its anti-inflammatory effects through the downregulation of the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), and nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) signaling pathways. In conclusion, we generated a novel anti-inflammatory compound using biorenovation and demonstrated its efficacy in cell-based in vitro assays.

Decellularized bone matrix is receiving much attention as biological scaffolds and implantable biomaterials for bone tissue regeneration. Here, we evaluated the efficacy of a cell-free demineralized bone matrix on mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) survival and differentiation in vitro. The seeding of human umbilical cord-derived MSCs (hUC-SCs) on decellularized bone matrices up to 14 days was exploited, assessing their capability of scaffold colonization and evaluating gene expression of bone markers. Light and Scanning Electron Microscopies were used. The obtained cell-free decalcified structures showed elastic moduli attributable to both topology and biochemical composition. Morphological observation evidenced an almost complete colonization of the scaffolds after 14 days of culture. Moreover, in hUC-SCs cultured on decalcified scaffolds, without the addition of any osteoinductive media, there was an upregulation of Collagen Type I (COL1) and osteonectin (ON) gene expression, especially on day 14. Modifications in the expression of genes engaged in stemness were also detected. In conclusion, the proposed decellularized bone matrix can induce the in vitro hUC-SCs differentiation and has the potential to be tested for in in vivo tissue regeneration.

This study aimed to produce and optimize a Cordyceps militaris-based oil-in-water (O/W) nanoemulsion (NE) encapsulated in sea buckthorn oil (SBT) using an ultrasonication process. Herein, a nonionic surfactant (Tween 80) and chitosan cosurfactant were used as emulsifying agents. The Cordyceps nanoemulsion (COR-NE) was characterized using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), dynamic light scattering (DLS), and field-emission transmission electron microscope (FE-TEM). The DLS analyses revealed that the NE droplets were 87.0 ± 2.1 nm in diameter, with a PDI value of 0.089 ± 0.023, and zeta potential of −26.20 ± 2. The small size, low PDI, and stable zeta potential highlighted the excellent stability of the NE. The NE was tested for stability under different temperature (4 °C, 25 °C, and 60 °C) and storage conditions for 3 months where 4 °C did not affect the stability. Finally, in vitro cytotoxicity and anti-inflammatory activity were assessed. The results suggested that the NE was not toxic to RAW 264.7 or HaCaT (human keratinocyte) cell lines at up to 100 µL/mL. Anti-inflammatory activity in liposaccharides (LPS)-induced RAW 264.7 cells was evident at 50 µg/mL and showed inhibition of NO production and downregulation of pro-inflammatory gene expression. Further, the NE exhibited good antioxidant (2.96 ± 0.10 mg/mL) activity and inhibited E. coli and S. aureus bacterial growth. Overall, the COR-NE had greater efficacy than the free extract and added significant value for future biomedical and cosmetics applications.
